DickPunks’ Awards & Nominations
During DickPunks’ career in the music industry, their appearance is more widely known from the contestant by Mnet titled Superstar K4 that was aired in 2012. During this program, DickPunks finally received the awards for being the 2nd place as the runner-up on November 23, 2013.
DickPunks’ Appearance on Mnet’s Superstar K4
The reason why DickPunks participated in Superstar K4 is unusual, and it is said that they are not actually a top band that participated in Superstar K4 because the ratings were low. Later, in an interview, DickPunks revealed the biggest reason, “Our band is not suitable for a top band with a serious atmosphere.” Originally, DickPunks was a music-oriented band with an exciting atmosphere, but in the first week of the live broadcast of Superstar K4, after receiving a reputation as a weak contestant, in the second week of the live broadcast, they performed Cho Yong-pil’s “Red Dragonfly” with a rather serious atmosphere.
DickPunks finally received the safe position after performing in the Top 9 in the Rivalry episode and after surviving this super save. Their ranking, which had moved around the bottom of the online voting, suddenly rose to second place.
In the 4th week of the My Style mission in the Top 6, DickPunks selected 4Minute‘s “Muzik.” When this song selection came out, the fans who supported DickPunks were in great shock! However, it was said that the stage was not as bad as expected. That week, they also received the highest score from the judges, but there was a lot of disagreement on the Internet. Even among the fans, that was the case. However, the fans themselves say that it is a song that is addictive after listening to it.
In the 5th week of the Audience Song of Choice mission in the Top 4, DickPunks received a selection of a song titled “After the Concert Is Over.” The season’s judges’ highest score was 288 points, and they were safe in this episode. Thanks to the selection of songs that fit the overall atmosphere of DickPunks including a good jazz-style arrangement and the excellent skill of vocalist Kim Tae-hyun. After that, they ran first in the pre-voting alone, but were continuously pushed out of the text voting and were in danger of being eliminated.
In the 6th week, DickPunks selected Yoon Mirae‘s “Please Don’t Go.” The overall reviews were good because of the colorful orchestral sound. Kim Taehyun as the vocalist cut off the end of the song hard while singing, which is said to be a child’s singing method and it gave a bad impression. However, it is said that the original song itself cuts off at the end.
For the next round, DickPunks performed “Big Girl” by MIKA. There was a serious acoustic accident where no bass sound came out when “Big Girl” was sung, but Kim Hyun-woo as the keyboardist gave a good stage, showing his amazing coping ability by hitting the bass note and accompaniment.
In the 7th week, DickPunk performed “Playing Something Memorable” by Jang Jin and a self-composed song titled “Butterfly.” There were many reviews about “Playing Something Memorable” being ordinary and having a good stage presence, but it’s a stage where the keys break when playing the keyboard in their self-composed song “Butterfly.” DickPunks finally ended up in Top 2– Song Rendition/ Self Written Song as the runner-up.
DickPunks said they had to go to the finals, and they worked really hard to go to the Top 4. They were also pushed out by fandom firepower because they had virtually no stars. DickPunks absorbed all the effects and landed in the finals, but in the end, they were pushed away by Roy Kim’s stardom. The marked decline in the star rating can be fully understood by looking at the current behavior. Of course, surviving as a band in Korea is difficult, but that doesn’t mean DickPunks did not stand out. Well, that is all of the information about DickPunks’ profile and everything you should know about them.
